This Packaging
Proactiv is such a rip off company. Those two "dermatologists (if indeed they truthfully are) have sold buttloads of what basically you can find for much cheaper. If they truly wanted to help people with skin problems they could have made all that one the first few years and then made them more affordable without all this cheesy membership crap, etc. I still think people are able to buy generic for similar results. Greed has no limits.
Density Of Pepperonis Visible Through Pizza Box Window Is An Inaccurate Representation Of Whole-Pizza Coverage
I'd be blowing up their customer's service phone & registering some big time complaints. Bullsh!t
It just looks like it shifted in shipping. There is way too much overlap on those pepperoni.
Anyone who thinks that view through the pane is the actual pepperoni density deserves to feel cheated. The slices have clearly moved to one corner and there's too many in one area; they overlap.
I've heard people defend this by saying the pepperonis shifted but all of them are like this and they are always conveniently shifted to whichever side the window is on.
Actually I think it’s usually valid just not on a shrink wrapped pizza
Load More Replies...Sometimes the pepperoni can slide around. It's happened to me so many times so I get the cheese pizza and add my own pepperoni.
Those kinds of “pizza” taste like cardboard anyway! Just buy a sausage of pepperoni and cut your own slices! But buy a decent crust and other stuff first, or better yet, go buy one of these cheap already made pizzas at the take out for five bucks!
Were you supposed to spread the pepperonis around? They are all crowded in one corner!? Not really "Family (sic) Finest"!
i wouldn't have bought it because of that spot missing pepperoni i can see outside the box
Why don't people just buy plain bases and make their own?? Save money and use fresher ingredients.
Just pick them off and re-position them. There's plenty enough to cover it.
Great Taste, Not So Great Packaging
Very Disappointing And Misleading Packaging
Scumbag Hillshire Farms
I got one of these by a similar company for Xmas. Their box had the block cheeses but it's still a lot of wasteful packaging for the sake of packaging. In fact the packaging is probably one of the most expensive parts and it goes in the trash! What a stupid gift! *as an aside, the family member that gave it to me has done much better in the past so no hard feelings!
They Package Oranges In Red Mesh To Make Them Appear More Orangier
This can be a result of some markets, where the customer judges a product just by the superficial appearance of it...

Purposely Misleading Labels
Now Wait One God Dam Second
It's gotten to where I won't buy the name brands unless they're on sale. You can find off brands of virtually any junk food that tastes just as good but people are so hell bent

Packaging That Tricks You
I don't know how it exactly works where you live, but don"t forget that the product has a weight written on it, refer to that, not to the side of the box. If you paid for 200g, you will get 200g.
When Companies Leave Room In Packaging For No Reason
Some Very Creative Packaging From Tesco
*Shakes Package* Hmm Feels Like There's At Least A Few, Seems Worth The Price... (No, It Doesn't Say On The Box How Many)
Packaging That Tricks You
The package says "..0g" so refer to that and not to the side of the box. Sometimes people have to stop being fools, don't know if it's fair or not for you, but it's clearly stated on the box.
You're Kidding Me, Right? Made Me Think I Was Getting A Whole Box Of Tablets

This Lip Balm's Extra Packaging
The Packaging For 4 Pack Of Mens Burberry Cologne Is Criminally Misleading And A Blatant Rip Off. 19.5mls Made To Look Like 100ml With Oversized Boxes And No Description And Measurements On Outer Box
They Could Just Package 4 Or 8 At The Time, But No
5 is aesthetically pleasing to listen number. like 10, or 100 or many such numbers. 5 gives us direct connection as 5 fingers, 5 senses etc etc. Also 5 is pleasing to gods, 5 is the number of gears in the car, 5 is central most key on a phone dial pad.At this point I have no clue what I saying, I was pretending and I am out of 'pretends' :)
I Bought A Tool To Open Those Plastic Clamshell Packages, It Showed Up Today
The Way They Indented The Bottom Of The Cup Is Ridiculous
But it clearly says 150 grams on the label. What difference a cup makes?
